SMC January – Social Media for Local Business
Welcome to 2012 – we’re ready to crush it. How about you?
Seriously, we are excited to get some things moving and grooving here on the SMC Columbia blog and in our monthly gatherings. This month, we’re going to kick it with a bang.
TOPIC: Social Media for Local Business
We’re planning on hitting some highpoints and then opening the floor for discussion.
Winning with WordPress!
Where did the time go? This week we’ll be hosting our November SMC meeting at Immedion. It will start promptly at 6:00 p.m.
We will have two special speakers this month: Steve Harvey and Wesley Donehue. Steve Harvey runs the Upstate WordPress Group:
My name is Stephen Harvey and I have been involved with business, the Internet and Web strategy since the late 1990′s when I began distribution channel sales of software and computer hardware equipment. From that position, I learned to identify customer pain points and deliver solutions that relieved customer stress issues. With this knowledge of customer satisfaction and technology, I pursued additional education in Computer Science.
#SocialCrush Coming to Columbia
The Social Media Club will be working the masses for the Monday BOOTCAMP, the Tuesday conference Labs, and throughout the entire event – so look us up and say HI while we’re milling around with everyone crushing and socializing.
Hope to see y’all there – register at SocialCrush.com (Eventbrite link).
July 21st SMC Meeting
It’s Not A Toy, It’s Money In Your Pocket! Facebook For Business
If your business isn’t on Facebook yet, you’re losing money and customers to your competition. While it started as a way for college students to keep in touch, Facebook users now share 300 billion pieces of content per day. It’s the first place many people go for recommendations on what to buy, where to get it, and how to use it. Your business needs to be a part of that.
This workshop will show you:
· How to create a basic page for your business, and the three big mistakes most rookies make
· What metrics matter to measure your success in the critical first six months
· Who on your team should be posting – and who should be “read only”
· Why some businesses thrive on Facebook, and why some just shrivel up and die
